It is with heartfelt sympathy that we extend our condolences to the JOHNNY STARKS FAMILY.Bro. Starks was a true friend to the THAXTON FAMILY and his acts of love will NEVER be forgotten. It is with hope that as time goes by, cherished memories will help bring comfort and inner peace to the family.

We the members of the Chandler/Wesley family wish to express our deep condolence. We will never forget Deacon Starks. He was a very caring and kind man. We will always remember the joy he displayed when serving others, a true example of Philippians 2:1-4. May God grant him eternal rest.

The Chandler/Wesley Family Sharon, Edith and Wayne
